    Hold all tickets! I ain't out of it yet but should be by Sunday. lol Arizona Elk Society has my money, again. Thanks to The Commish for putting this together. They're also going to get my time on 4/5 at their big annual fundraiser banquet. I'm the guy who runs their Blackjack table, so if any...

    Or maybe a bit longer than that, if they can get their math right.

    2024 AZ credit card hit

    I will be in AZ again for elk season this year... Because I live here. I did not draw an elk tag. I'm not sure who to be mad at. Probably myself for living in AZ.

    Can a dog be trained to smell?

    My GSP had a natural stink to him. No training required.

    Who bought this?

    Buyer is probably Cameron Hanes. He's looking to teach some Navy SEALs a thing or 2 about a thing or 3.

    Antelope...Lets See Them!!!

    Not sure if I posted about this hunt on here, but here's my 2021 archery AZ 'lope. Took me 14 points to draw. Have never tried any other state, but if I can get some of my issues in order I might. Unofficial gross score was 76 5/8, net of 74 6/8. Me and another HuntTalker celebrated...

    AZ Coues vs CO Muley vs MT Gen.

    Big muley bucks make my heart leap a little (not like an elk does, but still). I've not hunted a lot of Coues, despite having nearby access. I don't understand the hype at all. Looks like someone's mid-size dog got loose in the desert. I showed a buddy what I thought was a decentish Coues buck...

    How long did it take for your first elk?

    I had quite a few hunts before I finally hung my tag on an elk. Hunting only in AZ, where we were drawing a tag only every 3-5 years on average makes it really tough to get any good at hunting elk and retaining the memories of what you learned while getting your butt handed to you. One year I...

    HTer Fitness Goals '24 Edition

    Got diagnosed with fairly advanced prostate cancer in late 2022 (get checked, fellas - "paging Dr. Tinyfingers") and had surgery Spring 2023. Some post-op complications kept me bedridden for a long time and then I had an attitude problem I just could not get on top of. Had a tough time even...

    Struggling to eat healthy while traveling

    I'm not calling you a wus - at least not until you tell me how big you are and how far from AZ :cool: - but it's likely getting in your head more than a real physical issue. It's a good idea to focus on other tasks. The energy/hunger and sometimes light-headedness generally come in waves. At...

    Struggling to eat healthy while traveling

    This won't help much with the prospective menu choices, but maybe consider doing a 3-day fast here and there. I have done 2 water-only fasts in the last 3 weeks for health purposes and dropped from 197 to 183, including losing some fat below my chin that hasn't seemed to budge (didn't even go...

    Arizona - Check your cards

    I drew early archery in 6A. I took my first archery elk with the same tag in 2012 and helped my dad tag what probably will be his last bull there last year. I only had the 2 bonus points they give for loyalty and hunter's ed, since I drew a tag (soup) last year. Probably will only have 1 week to...

    AZ Draw

    Congrats to all who drew elk tags in AZ. I drew an early archery tag in a unit I haven't hunted before. The odds looked good enough so I applied there and where I killed in 2017. If you see me out in the field, don't say "hi" - get the hell away from me, I'm trying to kill a big bull! ;)

    AZ Late Rifle Elk Success in the Timber

    Congrats on putting a great bull down! Late rifle elk can be tough to hunt in AZ because there are roads everywhere and there have been people in the forests chasing animals non-stop since mid-August. Tends to make those bulls shy. Much of the ponderosa forests are overgrown, so glassing can be...

    9-11 bull

    You're smarter than the elk. Looks like a dandy bull, Pat. Congrats!

    AZ Archery Speedgoats

    Thanks for all the kind words from those who posted. Got my euro mount back today. Loving this buck and the way the black horns jump out from the white skull. That's the broadhead by his passenger side base. Above in process before whitening and below final. He's not real long but his mass is...

    AZ Archery Speedgoats

    Thank you. I love his prongs, too. His right one has kind of a funky bend, almost a warp, to it. The pix I have don't show it very well, but I'll try to get better ones when I get the euro mount back.
